Since the Family Action Council, our legislators and governor were so concerned about “small businesses” like Nissan, FedEx, AT&T, Comcast, DuPont, Pfizer, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Caterpillar, KPMG, Whirlpool, Embraer, Alcoa and United Health Care, I figured the LGBT community and their allies could return the favor and help the numerous churches in the state that are suffering as well because of a lack of consistency in religious doctrine.

Surely, there is a legislator brave enough to partner with a group like the Tennessee Equality Project to draft legislation to unify religious practices. This, of course, would make it far easier for parishioners to become members of their local churches. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could walk into any conservative Christian church and know, without having to interview the clergy or look up the doctrine on Wikipedia, whether or not they subscribe to full submersion baptism?

Once this proposed legislation is passed, the citizens of Tennessee will no longer have to endure that awkward silence and accompanying stares during Sunday school (or Saturday School) when they open up the New International Version rather than the King James Version.

You see, great things can happen through legislation. So what do you say? Who’s up for next year’s “Equal Access to Liturgical Uniformity”? Because if there is one thing I have learned it’s that if religious groups know what’s best for business then LGBT groups know what’s best for churches.
